GOP lawmakers who have seen the courts reject several of their bills on constitutional grounds in recent years pointed to a dominating performance in last year's election as proof of voter demand for Republican policies. "The voters want court reform. Article Seven of the Montana Constitution, no less than 20...

I want to wish everyone in Carter County a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It's hard to believe that 2024 has already come and gone.

I deeply appreciate the warm welcome from the community and the support I've received from producers. A huge thank-you goes out to Carter County contract trappers Robbie F...
